Heyy yall. Just looking for some book suggests. I'd like some good horror or gothic reads, I've been wanting to get into some. Fantasies too, just a little bit easy on the super complex worlds unless there's like a glossary lol. I love romance and fantasy. I wanna sucked into these books. Any and all are welcome <3

I just saw a quiz (readyourcolor.com) on tik tok that tells you what kind of reader you are and I thought it’d be fun to share here! There is a good mix of fiction and non-fiction and instead of telling you what genres you like to read, it tells you what you tend to like in a book. It’s 24 short book descriptions that you say how likely you are to read and then at the end you get assigned a color with book recommendations for that color group. I’ll share my results in the comments :)

I see this done on BookTok a lot and I thought it would be fun to try here! I will post a snippet of a review for a book and your job is to try and guess the book. I will come back the next day with the answer to try and give every one in different time zones a chance to guess. Even if you have no clue...what book would fit this review for you? Credit for the review will be given at the end of the post, don't use it to cheat haha (or if you do don't ruin it for others). This is a 5 star review... "This book is so bleak. I had a pit in my stomach the whole time from dread...The story’s depiction of death is so gruesome but at the same time it’s so soft and reverent. Finishing it put me in such a weird mood and if I think too hard I’ll start sobbing." -review given by letmeread98 on StoryGraph What's your guess? REVEAL NOW IN COMMENTS

Does anyone else have a problem finishing a series they love? I’m finding I’m just not ready for it to end and my tbr is filling up with series finales!

Thinking about finally getting an e-reader, any recommendations? I have always been a physical book girl, but would like the convenience of an e-reader for travel and saving $$$ on physical books. Looking for something with long battery life, waterproof, and easy on the eyes. Would love to hear what you're using and what you love (or don't love) about it!

Are you a re-reader or do you always go for something new? I usually go for new books but if it's one of my favourites I'm gonna re-read it.

I’m curious—how did you decide on your avatar when you joined Pagebound? I originally picked the goth/emo-looking girl because her haircut was similar to mine. I almost went with the little green witch because she has such a cool vibe, but in the end, I chose my current avatar since I’m a total sucker for romance books. Don’t be surprised if I switch to the little green witch at some point, I just feel drawn to her! I’d love to hear your stories! Did you pick your avatar because it looks like you, fits your favorite genre, or just because it’s cute?

What’s a super popular book that everyone seems to love, but you just couldn’t finish? What didn’t work for you? My answer might trigger some people lol

I consume lots of my reads via audiobook, and have definitely had the experience where a narrator's voice is simply not doing it for me. I've also found a couple of voice actors whose audiobooks are delightful! What are some audiobooks or narrators you'd recommend? (and why?)
